Kellie’s First Sketch Challenge

In celebration of Kellie having yet another blog facelift, getting into yet another Design Team and being yet again a generous person – she is giving away freebies!! There is just one catch. And that is to make a card using her first ever sketch challenge!

This the sketch, which the only thing I changed was to turn it sideways.

And this is what I came up with. I used watercolour pencils to colour my HouseMouse stamp. The rest of the items used are all old stock so I couldn’t even begin to say who or what design they are.

It’s not a very good photo due to it being dark out so I had to take it on my work desk, but I am sure you will all get the gist of it! So come one, come all and join in for your chance to win!!

Magnolia Down Under Challenge 14

Well, I have been on holidays for the last couple of weeks so I missed out on a couple of challenges from MDUC. I am back now though and have just completed this weeks challenge – Moving to the Country. Now I had a few ideas on this one. I was going to d a “Moving” card as in a farewell type card, but I couldn’t figure out HOW to actually do it! So I decided that a country themed card will be just as good. This is what I came up with.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #10

Mothers Day is only one week away, so this weeks challenge at MDUC was to make a Mothers Day card. This card came together really easily and I am quite happy with the outcome. Although when it comes to taking pictures of my cards, I am not so good at it.. lol

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #9

This weeks challenge was fun!!! The theme is:

SPOTS

I hand dotted the background paper to make it the same colours as was used to colour little Tilda. The vellum looks spotty because I used blue sticky dots to stick it down to add to the spotted theme. The little butterflies came from the $2 Shop.

Magnolia Down Under #8

Well, #8 has been and gone… I actually started the card the day the new challenge was posted, but due to a busy week at work, then a busy week with side projects, poor Tilda was neglected… So although I am late and can not be selected, I have posted my card anyway.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #7

This weeks challenge was simply “Sepia” I was stumped for a little while… Then came up with this:

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!! xoxo

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #5

This weeks challenge was to do an Easter themed card using a Magnolia stamp. Tjis card actually came together really well for me. It usually takes me a few days to complete a card so this was a nice change! To colour in Tilda, I used my new texta’s that I bought from Kellie through Stampin’ Up and I really think it has made a wonderful difference instead of using the water colour pencils. I will be buying the othere sets of textas for certain. I just traced around the inside of the line with the colour I wanted, then used a wet paint brush to blend the colour lightly over the remaining white space. Simple, and effective.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #4

This weeks challenge was simply titled “Bling It On!” I don’t have much in te way of bling, so I went nuts with the glitter! I had a lot of fun with this challenge. Here’s my entry:

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #4

I covered the brads in glue then dunked them in glitter. The brads that are in the centre of the flowers are purple and I used the same method of glue and dunking in glitter. My computer/craft room is now a sparkling shambles, but I had a lot of fun!!
